Lulz yeah. The xenomorph was far too sadistic in a way that isn't just mindlessly murderous for it to not be seen as a sexual sadist. The best ways to encourage a lifeform to do something from an evolutionary standpoint, whether it be eating, mating, or killing is to make it pleasurable, and that alien clearly derived pleasure from killing. Totally a sexual sadist.

Yaphet Kotto. Check out the 1978 flick 'Blue Collar' with him, Harvey Keitel, and Richard Pryor. A little bit dated but ****ing intense ****. And all too real even today.



Re: Alien, vaginas, and sex innuendo

This says it all. Ridley was 100% going "there".

TFW you're reminded of that movie The Ghost and the Darkness and want to watch a horror movie about actual wild animals (lions in the case of that movie) that is legit and not stupid but that movie wasn't that good from what you remember anyway but it was at least based on real events and had Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer and wasn't a CGI ****fest so good enough I guess?

Also tfw you see the tagline for the movie, "Prey for the hunters". God damn it. It can't be THAT bad, right?

can't say i've ever had those very particular feelings

TFW you want to play Fire Emblem while taking a ****.

After the long wait, finally seen the Miike adaptation of the BoTI manga, met every expectation I had and then some

I watched The Green Mile.

Probably in my top ten films. Really enjoyed it.

Re: Alien

I hadn't actually SEEN it until last year, and going into it on the airplane, I figured pop culture had spoiled most of it for me. I knew about the chestburster, I knew about the xenomorph.

I was not prepared for the face-hugger. Easily the worst / greatest creation in the entire film. So glad that it doesn't get talked about enough or it would've been ruined for me too. That thing is absolute nightmare fuel.

EDIT: I also want to add that Alien touched on something REALLY important in horror movies, which is to NEVER show too much of the monster. The instant you can see the thing well-lit, you can see the charade. Alien tried to only show you flashes of the Xenomorph and was better for it, because your imagination did the rest of the work. James Cameron's (spits) Aliens shows you far too much of the creatures and offers you no new horrors. You get sensitized to them. Speaking of "you should never show us too much of the monster or things enter Hokeytown":

And the last thing I watched was It. $2 well spent, but I don't think I need to see it twice. Superb child acting, though.

Amen. Couldn't agree more.

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Well this was crazy as ****. This borrows a lot of the more bizarre elements from directors like Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Jodorowsky, and E. Elias Merhige (as in: Begotten) and filters it through an LSD and memory soaked filter. Very feverish while maintaining a bizarro ambience. It doesn't always work, but the scenes where it does succeed are some of the most intense and viscerally psychedelic ones I've ever seen. It's a pretty crazy trip, I don't think I could handle it if I was on hallucinogens tbh. 8/10
